As I looked at the photograph yesterday, I wondered why these windows were blue and what was the material — paint? some sort of cardboard? wood? I think I’ll need to go back to this building again and take closer notice of the entire building, which I think is vacant.

I was surprised when I found the windows in my archive. I remember snapping shots of the old building, but I didn’t remember the windows. I took in the same day and in a close location to the grid-like structure, which was actually a guardrail on a stair.

Photographer, Reader, Writer, Thinker, Dreamer

I bought my first SLR camera (a Yashica TL-ELECTRO) when I was 17 and imagined I would become a great photographer. My love of photography, unfortunately, was thwarted by a photo-journalism class (the first "C" in college, but not the last!) as well as several packages of accidentally exposed photo paper and the high cost of film on a student budget. An unexpected gift of a Canon Rebel xSI four years ago reawakened those old, dormant dreams. A bit wiser now, I knew that photog instructor was full of bs even if technically he was pretty good. I began snapping away and haven't looked back. Mostly, I shoot nature photography because flowers and rocks don't talk back at you when you pose them.
